      CHRS: CP437 2       MSGID: 1:320/219@fidonet 57063303       PID: MBSE-BBS 1.1.2 (Linux-x86_64)       TZUTC: -0400       TID: MBSE-FIDO 1.1.2 (Linux-x86_64)       MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06                Title: Sous-Chef Salad        Categories: Greeens, Vegetables, Herbs, Seafood        Yield: 2 servings                Coarse salt & fresh ground        - black pepper        5 oz Marble potatoes        6 oz Green beans; stemmed, tails        - intact        4 lg Eggs; refrigerator cold        1 sm Head soft lettuce; such as        - butter or red-leaf lettuce        1 bn Radishes        4 oz Artichoke hearts in brine        4 oz Ripe cherry tomatoes       6 11/16 oz Jar high-quality tuna in        - oil        1/2 sm Red onion; halved and thin        - sliced        1 oz Pitted Kalamata olives;        - halved        3 cl Garlic; freshly peeled        2 tb Red wine vinegar        Extra-virgin olive oil        2 lg Leafy basil sprigs                Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add        plenty of salt to taste of the sea.                Add potatoes, and boil until the thin tip of a knife can        pierce a potato as if going into soft wax, 8 to 9        minutes. Retrieve potatoes with a spider, and let cool        and drain on a baker’s rack set into a sheet pan nearby.                Add green beans to still-boiling water, and boil until        the color transforms from raw and dusty to saturated        deep green, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove with a spider, and        set out to drain and cool on the baker’s rack.                Add the eggs directly from the refrigerator into the        boiling water, and boil for 8 minutes. Dump eggs and        boiling water into the sink, letting the shells crackle        as they land hard. Peel eggs while submerged under cold        running water, which helps to stop the cooking and        release the shells easily. Set peeled eggs to rest on        the rack.                While eggs boil, wash and spin-dry lettuce.                Remove green leafy tops from radishes, and save for        another use, if desired. Wash and carefully rinse        radishes, taking care to remove any grit or sand.                On a large rimmed platter, begin to assemble the salad        by tearing the clean, dry lettuce and arranging it as        the bed.                Use a sharp paring knife to split the green beans in        half crosswise. Scatter them artfully around the bed of        lettuce.                Split the potatoes in half and arrange artfully.                Split artichokes, if whole, into quarters and arrange        artfully.                Repeat with cherry tomatoes, followed by radishes, split        into quarters, then eggs, quartered into wedges.                Remove tuna from the jar with a fork. Break it into        chunks, and nestle it into the mound of salad. Drizzle        the tuna oil over the salad.                Finish with scattered red onion and split olives.                Microplane the garlic into a small bowl. Add red-wine        vinegar and 3 to 4 long glugs of olive oil (about 1/4        cup), and stir together briskly. Season with salt and a        lot of freshly ground pepper.                Just before dressing the salad, tear the basil leaves to        release their fragrance. Scatter them around the whole        salad.                When ready to serve, drizzle dressing evenly and        thoroughly over salad. When ready to eat, toss to dress,        and don’t worry about messing up the beauty.                By: Gabrielle Hamilton                Yield: 2 servings                RECIPE FROM: https://cooking.nytimes.com                Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives               MMMMM              ...
